Karen Parry, Sales & Marketing Manager of Entaco Limited* will talk to us about the history of John James’ hand sewing and machine needles, and will explain how to select the right needle for the right job. She will have information packs available.
You may recall that every branch member received a pack of John James’ needles as a Christmas gift in December 2011.
*John James has been making needles since 1840, and is a trading name of Entaco.
Entaco Limited is a privately-owned British company based in Redditch, Worcestershire, an area acknowledged to be the 'Needle Capital of the World'.
This was a really interesting talk. I learned a lot that I didn't know about needles - like I need to change them much more often, as they get blunt and the coating wears off with use. Nice little goody bag from Karen, too. :-)
